The 2023 Pre-TT Classic Road Races were held on the Billown, Southern 100, circuit on the Isle of Man over the 26th – 28th May 2023.

The Pre-TT Classic Road Races came into being in 1988 at the request of the then TT organisers, the then Auto Cycle Union, Classics having first appeared on the Billown course twelve months earlier at the popular Southern ‘100’ Road Races.’  The first TT Classic Races were held on the 31st May1988, the meeting consisting of four races, 250cc/350c; 500cc; Unlimited and Sidecars and attracted 115 entries in all.

Honour of being the first race winner went to Graham Godward of Royston in Hertfordshire, riding a 350cc Aermacchi, whilst the 250cc category was dominated by ‘local’ classic man Mike Cain from Onchan on his 250cc Suzuki. Dave Pither, Seeley Matchless took the 500cc race from Richard Swallow on Syd Lawton’s Aermacchi with Alan Dugdale third. Riding a BSA Metisse, Stroud’s Robert Price finished first in the Unlimited race, whilst the controversial MV Agusta sidecar outfit of Mark Kay and Richard Battisson took the chequered flag in the final race of the day.  The Classics had arrived at Billown!

Thirty plus years on, the Blackford’s Pre-TT Classic Road Races is rated as one of the most popular and ‘must do’ events in the annual Classic calendar attracting well over 250 entries for its nine-race event.

2023 Post TT Races Cancelled

The 2023 Post TT Races have been cancelled due to a scheduling clash with the 2023 Isle of Man Senior TT.

Similar happened in 2022, however this was due to a contingency following adverse weather on the planned Senior Race day (Friday) :

2022 Post TT Races Cancelled

The Post-TT Races will no longer be held after 31 years of the event.

The Southern 100 Club has confirmed the decision following the announcement of the schedule for next year’s TT on the Mountain Course.

Traditionally, the Post-TT Races have been held on the final Saturday of the TT fortnight.

However this would clash, in 2023, with the new TT programme with next year’s Senior race scheduled for Saturday, 10 June.

S100 officials says the decision is largely down to lack of available medical personnel and marshals after the TT festival.

Meanwhile the Pre-TT Classic Road Races will go ahead next year but on a revised timetable.

It will now run for three days straight on the Billown Course from Friday, 26 May through to Sunday, 28 May.

The Friday session will run from 6pm to 9.35pm; the Saturday session from 1pm to 4.30pm and between 6pm and 9pm; and the Sunday slot from 1pm until no later than 6pm.

The Southern 100 Road Races are due to be held as planned from 10-13 July next year.
